And what are your actionable steps you are taking.
And what actionable steps are you taking? Anyone can play the blame game.
There are things we can do. One is to vote out
all incumbents, every time, regardless of party affiliation unless they are actively working to reform the electoral process, and actively working at eliminating the current legalized and systematic bribery of the house and the senate. You would be amazed how effective this would be if we would just do it.
We can also vote for third party candidates and write-ins whenever possible, to show the current politicians that we WILL vote, that we WILL vote against them, and that we WILL keep on voting against them until they start paying attention to our well-being, and stop serving their wealthy corporate bribe masters.
And the third thing we can do, whenever possible, is to start running for office, ourselves. Even winning local elections; the effect will "trickle up".
Actually, when the health and lives of babies are at stake it's time to take individual action.
I agree. But it's time to take real action, and not just some foolish knee-jerk reactionary inaction. The truth is that most of us have no idea what the truth is about various vaccines, and so are going to have to rely on the knowledge and advice of others. And the internet has created an endless river of hyperbolic misinformation intended to pander, distract and confuse us. If we can't trust our own government to do the right thing, maybe we can look to other nation's governments that are not so corrupt and see what they're doing.
Clearly, vaccination has virtually eliminated some major diseases, and so should be continued.
My government is God's kingdom. I just seek to live in peace the best I can with earth-kingdoms. Good people like me have influenced policy many times, but not through voting, rather through public awareness campaigns. If the people won't cooperate with a destructive ideology they will have to back down.
Good people get fooled all the time. And the most horrible crimes have been perpetrated by people with only the best of intentions. Good people love to preach to others, even when they have no real idea what they're talking about. I'm sorry, but these things happen. The fact is the good people are rarely as good as they think they are, regardless of their good intentions (or just as often, because of them).
Good people should stop presuming themselves to be better than, and apart from every else. Because they are neither.
